💡 What

Refactored the CircularProgressBar from a class to a functional component and memoized expensive SVG geometry calculations using the useMemo hook.

🎯 Why

The component was recalculating SVG properties like center, radius, and circumference on every single frame of its requestAnimationFrame loop. This is inefficient as these values only change when the size or strokeWidth props change, which is rare.

📊 Impact

This change prevents redundant computations on every animation frame, reducing the amount of work the browser has to do. This leads to a smoother animation, lower CPU usage, and a more efficient component, especially if multiple progress bars are rendered on the same page.

🔬 Measurement

The improvement can be verified by observing the component's behavior. The animation should be visually identical to the original. A code review of frontend/src/Components/CircularProgressBar.js confirms that the expensive calculations are wrapped in useMemo with the correct dependencies [size, strokeWidth]. Due to environmental constraints preventing the dev server from starting, a live performance profile could not be captured, but the code follows a standard and effective React optimization pattern.

Wrapped the StarRating functional component in React.memo to prevent unnecessary re-renders.

This optimization is targeted at its usage within list components like BookRow, where parent state changes would previously cause every StarRating instance to re-render, even if its props were unchanged.

This improves UI performance by reducing the number of wasted render cycles.

⚡ Bolt: Memoize StarRating component to prevent re-renders
Refactors the `CircularProgressBar` from a class-based component to a functional component using React hooks.

Introduces `useMemo` to cache expensive SVG geometry calculations (`center`, `radius`, `circumference`). This optimization prevents these values from being recalculated on every animation frame, improving rendering performance and reducing CPU load.

Also fixes a regression introduced during the initial refactoring where the animation would incorrectly reset to zero when the target progress changed.
